Right. Sanders criticizes a democratic to make the party stronger. Any democrat who criticizes him however, are simply disparaging him.

I certainly understand the political and ethical convenience holding two of the same to different standards can be... as long as we admit (to ourselves if no one else) that it's irrational to do so, and advertises our bias much more than our wit.

And far be if from me to alert any post in which the poster manages to imagine, create and struggle upon a cross of his very own creation.
